This delicious take on lamb is a must try for something new this week. With ground cumin and harissa paste to add a spicy kick to the meat, this lamb dish is full of flavor and makes a great alternative to your usual lamb recipe. Harissa is a North African hot chilli pepper paste made of roasted red peppers, hot chilli peppers, garlic and herbs and gives the lamb shanks a really spicy flavour. Cooked in a pot with chicken stock, chopped tomatoes and chick peas, the meat becomes really tender along with the carrots. Serve this dish up with couscous and a sprinkle of coriander. This dish serves four, so it’s a great one to try for your next dinner party.
